Abstract

Abstract Predicting and preventing arterial restenosis after angioplasty has failed despite considerable research into mechanisms and techniques. We examined the roles of chronic constriction, neointimal-medial growth, and adventitial changes in restenosis in atherosclerotic rabbits. Angioplasty was performed on femoral artery lesions 4 weeks after lesion induction by air drying and cholesterol-supplemented diet. Angiographic and histological evaluation was conducted 3 to 4 weeks after angioplasty. The angiographic minimum luminal diameter (MLD) increased from 1.31±0.21 to 1.73±0.41 mm after angioplasty. Loss in MLD by 3 to 4 weeks was 0.95±0.64 mm. Initial gain and late loss correlated ( P =.008). Late residual stenosis, defined histologically as the difference between the luminal areas of a proximal reference site and lesion site normalized by the luminal area of the reference site, was 52±32%. Histological indices of chronic constriction, neointimal-medial growth, and adventitial growth were defined on the basis of the areas of these arterial wall layers at the lesion site relative to the reference site. Another parameter defined as the ratio of adventitial area to the area of intima+media at the lesion site allowed evaluation of the relative importance of these layers. Surprisingly, late residual stenosis correlated with chronic constriction ( P =.0003) but not with neointimal-medial growth or adventitial growth. The ratio of adventitial area to the area of intima+media at the lesion site also correlated with chronic constriction ( P =.01). These findings suggest that factors related to arterial remodeling rather than neointimal-medial growth may dominate the response to angioplasty.
